ICE abducting sex workers now

Sex Workers Are Being Abducted by ICE — and Abandoned by Respectability Politics

Sex workers targeted by ICE need the migrant justice movement’s full solidarity.

Any version of the “First they Came” poem, always forgets sex workers.

[stop-killing-ppl-with-covid-dea]

from what we saw, its less 'now' and more 'they have been for a while but only now is there enough publicity for people to notice, in large part because society cares so little for sex workers'

Sleipnir doesn’t make sense

One thing I never really understood was Sleipnir (meaning “slippery one” fyi) in depictions of Norse mythology. Sleipnir is an eight-legged horse, the steed of Odin and the son of Loki, and he is commonly depicted like this:

(image not mine)

But why would you depict an eight-legged horse like this? Horses gallop the same way most other mammals run, with all feet leaving the ground at one point, so having extra feet here doesn’t seem like it could make the horse any faster. I’m also not sure it would give it any more stable footing, since it doesn’t have a wider base.

If you want a stable eight-legged form that can reach great speeds for its size, wouldn’t you want to start with what nature has already provided? Wouldn’t you want something more like… this?

(my drawing)

“But wait!” you might say, “Sleipnir was conceived when Loki, in horse-form, seduced another horse! That’s why it looks all horsey, just with extra bits!”

Well, that’s a good point, but consider that Loki as a deity was originally based off the spider, and his name even derives from the old Swedish word for spider (source). Therefore, it’s not too hard to believe Sleipnir inherited his horse half from his mother and the more spidery half from his father. In conclusion:

Spider-Horse, Spider-Horse, He does spider-things of course! Weaves a web, Makes you gawk, Riding round ‘til Ragnarok! Look out! Here comes the Spider-Horse.

[edderkopper]

I am all for creative interpretations of Sleipnir. And spiders, obviously. This is epic.

But just so you know, that journal is from the 60′s, and the current scholarly consensus no longer considers the spider etymology to be likely. We still aren’t sure where the name comes from, and probably won’t ever be, but I’ve seen quite a few more recent academics lean toward Old Norse luka, meaning “close”, “shut”, or “end.” (See Simek’s Dictionary of Northern Mythology.)

[myreligionisconfused]

^^^^ my research found much the same. (which is sad, i like spiders)

As far as Sleipnir having eight legs, it’s probably a reference to Icelandic horses. Icelandic horses are one of the few horse breeds with five gaits. They can do a walk, trot and canter/gallop, like most horses. But they have also evolved to have a tolt,

[ gif of a man riding a brown Icelandic horse doing a tolt. The back legs of the horse move rather stiffly back and forth, while the front legs are lifted up almost to the horse’s chest. While the horse bounces slightly, the man riding the horse could probably hold a glass of water without spilling. ] 

which is fast, smooth and noted for its explosive speed and ability to cover long distances.

The second unique gait is called flugskeið, or flying pace.

[ a light brown Icelandic horse demonstrating the flugskeið. With the exception of the wind in the horses’ mane, the upper part of the horse and the rider seem to almost be still, with the background simply zipping by them. The horse’s legs, however, move fast enough to blur. Unlike with a full gallop, the horse does not fully extend its legs away from its body. This is particularly obvious in the front legs of the horse, which lift up to the chest of the horse and land under its chin the same way as in the tolt]

It is both smooth and fast, some horses being able to reach speeds of 30 mph. Not all Icelandic horses can do a flugskeið, but you’ll notice that when done properly the legs move in unison and so fast they can blur, giving the illusion of the horse having eight legs.

Anyways, here is a video to further emphasize how cool the flugskeið is;

[edderkopper]

I’d never heard this theory! That’s so neat.

The one I’ve read attributed the eight legs thing to a metaphor of a coffin + 4 pallbearers.

[lokikissesmyforehead]

This is FASCINATING, and I adore Sleipnir! 😍 @tinaferraldo

[catwinchester-deactivated201901]

You’ve brought my horse geek out now. You have been warned!

The thing is, until the late 1800s we didn’t know how horses moved. 

In old paintings you typically see horses with their legs stretched wide as they thought that gave the appearance of great speed. 

But it really just looks like Timmy’s big brother was being an evil bastard and bent the legs of his tin horses out . 

It’s completely unnatural looking, but horses moved too fast for us to be able to see how they moved, until Edward MAuybridge captured their motion in a series of consecutive photographs in 1878.

And for the first time we could see that all four legs did leave the ground. (and are never stretched uncomfortably wide!). 

He also created the first motion picture as the individual photographs could be put together as a series of film frames (below).  

So, all this is to say that back when Sleipnir was being dreamed up, they didn’t understand how animals moved and probably thought more legs = faster, and to a degree they were right, things on four legs run faster than bipeds so they continued that principle to its logical, if incorrect, conclusion. 

[hesaidsidhesaid]

THIS IS THE BEST HORSE MOVEMENT DISCOURSE EVER

[jumpingjacktrash]

or we can consider that norse epics were, above all else, poetry, and consider that the image of an eight-legged horse brings to mind a horse that moves like a spider – with that fast darting scuttle that so many people find terrifying. an alien horse. a divine horse. a monster.

(personally i find the spider run adorable, like when a cat gets startled and does the skitter. but i recognize this is an unusual reaction.)

[furball891]

So, inspired by the whole concept of a spider-horse I very loosely sketched this:

…To which my brother @foxofwar simply pointed out, that being a spider-horse, it’s a sporse.

[monstrous-hourglass]

Slightly off topic, but it isn’t unique to Norse mythology to give a magical horse unusual number of legs tho. In Hungarian folklore special horses (usually fond of eating cinders, capable of flying or running faster than the win or even faster than thoughts, usually liked to sass the hero of the tale) had 5, 6 or 7 legs.

Obviously those numbers were chosen because they held cultural significance (our dragons/giants had odd number of heads too), but it probably sounded like common sense that more legs=faster horse.

[norsesuggestions]

Might i also add that this is how those iron age norse people potrayed sleipner? It is not about catching the way an ACTUAL horse move.

It all about those knots baby!

Like norse iron age people were so NOT interested in realistic art. What they are interesred in though, are knots and twirly lines!

[crreature]

somehow this post made it to terfs and transphobes who think this means “men who think they’re women are a harmful to women” or “identifying as nonbinary is harmful to [binary] trans people” etc. which is NOT WHAT IT MEANS. the poster of the tweet is nonbinary and trans, and i am nonbinary and trans (and trans women are women, trans men are men, nonbinary identities are valid, etc). 

This tweet means that trans identities and pronouns are valid and should be talked about as such. Language matters. I don’t “identify as nonbinary,” I AM nonbinary. I don’t “prefer they/them pronouns,” they/them ARE my pronouns. “Identify as” and “prefer” leave room for doubt and debate, and trans identities are not up for debate.

To reiterate: “Identify as” and “prefer” leave room for doubt and debate, and trans identities are not up for debate.

i love my name so much and I've created it when i was 9 lol. i combined the first time of my irl name (i love to go by it as well so idc if tumblr knows it. its Victoria) and the last name of an animal i really liked back then. but the thing is, when i first typed it out in english i pronounced vinot as "vi-not" and at the time i Really liked the phrase "why not". i was 12 and the english language still felt like the fancy langauge of american movies (it was aesthetic), so i stuck with it. most of my platforms have that name on it, i either add song names at the end (abbriviated) or some funky words. and when i came on here i just grabbed my Twitter handle. made it in 2021 to post hermitcraft on that account so. it was all the rave back then. there were quite a few "pesky" moots of mine on there

Ooooooo ok!

So the name in of itself is a just referring to me making random stuff and whatever “chaos” i get into

The different spelling of chaos though is in reference to greek mythology.

Specifically the first “entity”, Khaos. Sometimes portrayed as a proper entity and other times seen more as the event, the “before” when the gods of earth and time and love hadn’t even come to be yet.

I’m really into mythology so I thought it’d be a good fit!

Ohhhh, Stranger beloved!! <3

Okay, so. I was a Warriors kid way back in the day, and while I didn't have an account I haunted the Warrior Cats Forums of the time. And I mean the old forums, the ones I think you can only find via Way Back Machine now.

But, back on track, I used to spend a lot of my time finding cool warrior names and writing them down, making little catalogs of names and combos. Sharpjay comes from that, one of the many names I found while looking around the forums, and it was the one that stuck with me.

Meanwhile, the numbers are literally just the date the first Sharpjay account was made. February 2017, I believe? The plan at the time was to change the numbers with each new account, but I ended up getting attached to it as it was and sticking with it!

Fun fact! I used to go by Sanddapple, and I think if one of my friends hadn't chosen "Sandy" as their warrior name prefix I might have still been Sandy to this day. It's what finally convinced me to switch to a new username!

Uhhhhhh, tagging, ummmmm. @5dbuckbox @cosmic-cimsoc @djfalloutwolf @lostinthe-void-666 woe be upon ye'. No pressure, of course!

thankyou for tagging me hi hello okayso. Picture. little baby me is not a warrior cats kid so much as a wolves kid. you understand. i introduced myself to my friends as part wolf this was my identity to them. and little baby me wants to play minecraft with their friends and i am forever and always horrendous at coming up with names. so of course i ask my good friend for advice and he bestows upon me ✨️ xXCosmicWolfXx ✨️ WHICH. i do not use. because even little baby me thought that would be A Bit Much. instead i tone it down to the respectable CosmicWolf88 i do not remember where the numbers came from. then. another friend and i had a bit where we reversed our minecraft usernames ? i also do not remember why ? but thus once i decided it was time to adapt the stalwart CosmicWolf88 into something much less distinctly Early Username, i pulled cimsoc from the reversed username bit and it stuck (<- that is my user in several other places atm). unfortunately as a fairly simple name it's sometimes taken before i can get it, so in those cases i expand it back to some variant on cosmic-cimsoc because it uses both other username versions and i like the mirroring effect. The End....

Echora: Echo is bc I like how “echo” sound, the ending comes from my irl name (not telling 🤫 you can guess if you like)

Aura is just an additional to differentiate myself from others who may use “Echora”

My online name is Rau which comes from the “ra_au” section just fused, so Rau!

I also go by Raucarus/RaunotIcarus in some spaces which is basically my alt username, just my online name, Rau, with Icarus bc it’s one of my favorite tropes/greek myths

thanks for the tag Rau!

okay so the first two are fairly simple, i am silly and my favorite color is blue

the third one came kinda sorta from a scheme i had to get my friends to see project hail mary with me by sending them a picture of ryan gosling every day so by the time it came out they would have to go see it and now ryan gosling has just become a massive part of my personality

umm anyways here are the tags feel free to join if you wanna @wolfymakes @thefourthnorn @nachtwaechterin @itshamwich @boatemholes @

[itshamwich]

thank you for the tag !!!

okay so this username has actually only been in use since November although I've been using it on Instagram for longer lol. my original username was stripesperhaps which is a reference to a line from sweeney todd in by the sea and also to the fact that I wear stripes pretty much every day lol. then in November I actually started to post here so I changed my user name to match my Instagram so it became itshamwich. hamwich is a reference to when magno calls haymitch hamwich on page 348 of sunrise on the reaping. I really like sandwiches and I have a funny reputation of getting my name messed up a bunch so I thought this was fitting. also I am a massive hunger games and haymitch fan lol. I really like the 2 part aspect of stripesperhaps so that's why I added the "its" in front. I do still love stripesperhaps but I have such a bond to itshamwich now lol. I love it so much and I think it suits me so I think it will be here forever. I'm itshamwich forever now lol

that was a lot lol but I like talking about this lol

also its funny when my friends read sotr and they are like "I know why you're hamwich now lol" also if they mention hamwich in the movie I'll be so so so happy lol

ooh tysm for the tag! i’ve always kinda struggled with usernames, especially when i was younger and wanted usernames for playing games. my old username was therascal2343, but i only used it for playing minecraft locally (i was a bit of a rascal when i was younger + 2343 was the password for one of my old little baby phone thingies)

as for my current user, i was playing minecraft with my sister during the lockdown and the talk of youtubers came up, we really liked minecraft at the time and both wanted a cool unique minecraft user. i came up with Amongrascals because i am among rascals! sometimes i have deviations like Among_therascals (artfight) / amongtherascals (yt) which makes it even more clear, it was also a bit of an evolution from therascal2343 :]

thank you for reading my tedtalk I like yapping and reading other people’s yaps :3 TELL ME YOUR LORE MY MUTUALS!!!!

I first wanted my username to be something like "SchroedingersAsexual" but that was already taken so then I tried my classic usernames of "DiogenesTheDrunk" and "Pseudonym" but those were taken so then I just said fuck it and went "Oh boy, I sure hope this name isn't in use!" @haloark @whispers-know

[whispers-know]

when i first started reading ao3 and didn’t have an account yet, i still wanted to leave comments, and i wanted them to all have the same nickname

so i started out as whisper, because i was thinking of wil-o-the-wisps and my brain went off on a tangent

i wanted my tumblr handle to match, but whisper was predictably taken, so i added an adjective: know

as in, the whispers in the dark know your secrets or smth like that

don’t judge, i was like twelve

some mutual under the cut

Please read this because it is EXTREMELY important me (a transgender man) and to other trans individuals.

The US Government is currently trying to pass an incredibly dangerous national law for trans youth called HR 2616.

This bill would ban all Federally funded schools from teaching about gender identity or sexual orientation, prevent teachers from using the correct pronouns and names for trans students, remove books with any trans representation in them, and even go as far as to prevent teachers from acknowledging trans identity AT ALL.

Any school that does not follow this will lose all federal funding. This bill would also require teachers to forcibly out trans students to their families, which would be fatal to any trans student with a transphobic Family or just hateful family in general. Trans people are already a group that already has some of the highest rates of being victim to suicide, domestic violence, and sexual assault.

This bill actively makes teachers put those innocent children at such a big risk. This bill has rapidly passed the house this week with support from all 209 republicans, as well as 8 democrats. But, it's still being voted on in the senate, which means there is still time to help stop this.

To help stop this, you can visit 5calls.org (look up 2616 in the search bar), one of the most top issues filed Oppose Attacks on LGBTQ+ Students. Once you put in your general location, it will pull-up contact information for your senator, and give you a script for calling them.

If you are a minor and/or do not feel comfortable doing this, PLEASE repost this on here, or any other platform you are on/can find! This needs to be heard and fought against.

Thank you for reading this, my lovely people!

irritating as fuck when people get mad at Black people existing in premodern historical fiction/fantasy media. like first of all, you're racist. and second of all, you are acting as though Black people didn't exist in premodern Europe which is simply false. especially when we're talking about the Mediterranean, like what the fuck do you people think is along the southern half of the Mediterranean Ocean?? everyone's on boats, there are GOING to be interactions with Black people in Northern Africa, and there are GOING to be Black people in Mediterranean Europe. stop being stupid. your imagined homogeneous white European past is not historical reality, get over it you massive losers
